Johann Christoph Harenberg (born April 28, 1696 in Langenholzen ; † November 12, 1774 in Braunschweig ) was a German Protestant theologian and historian . He wrote his most important works on the history of Gandersheim and on Bible exegesis .

Life

Johann Christoph Harenberg was the son of a farmer and completed his school career at a grammar school in Hildesheim . In 1715 he went to the University of Helmstedt and studied classical and oriental languages, theology, philosophy, archeology and history there. In 1719 he went to further studies at the universities of Jena and Halle . In 1720 Harenberg was rector of the collegiate school in Gandersheim, where he dealt with the local archive and evaluated Historia ecclesiae Ganderhemensis cathedralis ac collegiatae diplomatica (1734) for his later chronicle .

In 1734 he was appointed pastor in the Clus monastery and in the village of Dankelsheim and a year later in the parish in Bornumhausen near Seesen , but did not take up either position. Instead, he became general supervisor of the schools in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in 1735 . The Berlin Academy of Sciences made him a member in 1738. In 1745 he got a job as professor honorarius at the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig, which was established at the time, and at the same time as provost of the St. Lorenz monastery near Schöningen .
